\"TV-Buddha\"<\/p>\n

TV Buddha (1974) Closed Circuit video installation with bronze sculpture. [1]<\/p>\n

This work was produced as a gap-filler for an empty wall in Nam June Paik’s fourth show in the Galeria Bonino, New York. Shortly before the opening, he hit upon the idea of making a TV viewer out of an antique Buddha statue once purchased as an investment. The subsequent addition of a video camera meant the Buddha now watched his videotaped image on the screen opposite \u2013 past and present gaze upon each other in an encounter between Oriental deity and Western media.[2] Paik has also managed to create an infinite loop.<\/p>\n
